November 10
About a 10 minute walk away from the crofton is the Natural History Museum. starting this week there is ice skating there every night, so we decided to go to the student night. i was looking forward to it allll day and even dressed the part of an ice princess in my big gray fur vest.
cut to me stepping on the ice and i am immediately regretting this idea. i don't know how people find it easy to balance on two thin pieces of metal while on a slippery wet surface but i sure don't. i lack all sorts of coordination and balance...ice skating is near the top of the "things caitlin is most likely to fail at" list (#1? tight rope walking). it was a test of my physical abilities and i FAILED. major major fail. i managed to only fall twice but that's because every other moment i was either clinging to the side or was escorted around the rink. my epic fall included my legs sprawled out split-style and the rink cop dude bee lining it over to me. he asked if i was ok and i said yes. then he just stood there and held out his hands because, obviously, i was not okay. he found it pretty funny that the rest of the time i was glued to the side as the group photographer.
melanie and i bailed out early to get our free drinks and watch everyone else from the balcony. then we all took our xmas card pic by the huge tree next to the rink because we are adorable. then we got cookies and hot chocolate!
i may have bruised my ego and wrist (badly) but nothing turns a night around like chocolate goods.
